Technical Accounting Services under IFRS and US GAAP

Technical accounting position papers
When a judgment has to stand up in front of auditors, the audit committee or a regulator, we write the position paper: facts, applicable guidance, alternatives considered and the conclusion, supported by workings. Our IFRS 9 memorandum for a Pakistani bank supported the external auditor's sign-off without rework.
Reporting and controls
- IFRS and US GAAP gap analyses and conversions
- Application of new and revised standards
- Internal controls documentation and evaluation
- Accounting policy and procedures manuals
A Pakistani bank needed audit-ready IFRS 9 analysis its in-house team was not resourced to produce. We executed the gap analysis and prepared a full position paper covering classification, measurement and impairment. The deliverables supported the external auditor's sign-off.
Read case studies →Frequently asked questions
When should a company use technical accounting consulting services? +
When a transaction or new standard requires judgment your team does not apply often: an acquisition, a new financing instrument, a lease portfolio, a complex revenue contract or a conversion between frameworks.
Do you work for audit firms as well as companies? +
Yes, subject to independence. We support companies with their positions and support audit firms with technical analysis, never both on the same engagement.
